D: WP-FILES'SPDC\SP97-09.WPD k $ x Continental Linear Trail Just recently, the bid for Continental Linear Trail came in. The timing of this road being re-paved is coming at a very bad time, as we know that SPDC budget is very tight. This project is critical due to economies of scale with the re-paving of this road. The bids will be going out the end of this year and the project will start around March. Since SPDC is finalizing the budgets, we are bringing this to your attention now. The total cost of this trail is $320,000. The sport of walking, running and riding bikes lends itself as more of an individual sport. Although this group is large, it is not organized and these people do not attend Parks Board meetings in heavy numbers like soccer,tennis, baseball etc. If you look through this folder, you will see that the linear trails are consistently a top priority for the citizens of Southlake. The Southlake Citizens survey of 1995,1996 and 1997 shows that Linear Parks are always in the top three priority. This trail system starts at White's Chapel and ends at Davis Blvd.; it passes by Carroll Elementary School. Continental Trail will allow kids to walk to school from Continental Park Estates, Chimney Hills, Southlake Hills, Monticello Estates, Timberlakes and the Hills of Monticello. This will connect up to the trail system in Timmarron. The Southlake Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan suggest that initial construction should begin within one mile of the schools, because this trail plan was adopted after Carroll Elementary school was built, there is not a trail or sidewalk. According to this plan, the schools are the most important place for these trails to be. This plan gives us a guide and because of the work being done on Continental, now is the time to put the plan to work. (Page 31) The Parks Board recently had a joint meeting with SPIN. We asked them what they hear most from their areas, David Baltimore said the two most important things to the citizens of Southlake are the sewers and the trail system. He stated that everyone wants to know when the trail system will be in place. We all know that this is a long-term project but we do need to get it started. If you look at the City of Southlake Master Plan for Parks Recreation and Open Space, by the year 2001 we need to have 45 miles of linear trail; that is only four years away. According to this plan, we need to do at least 10 miles each year to meet the City Masterplan goal. (Page 37) If you cannot fit this project in this budget, please consider it to be a top priority for the next bond issue and set aside 320,000 for this project.

Land costs continue to escalate and it must be the City's priority to assure adequate parks and open space is preserved in perpetuity for the future citizens of Southlake. Land is needed for the following: • Complete acquisition of Bob Jones Park and lease COE land for adjacent park use • Acquire additional land at Bicentennial Park (five sites targeted by master plan) • Acquire 82 acres of community park land and 96 acres of special purpose park land in the southern area of Southlake and along Hwy 114 • Work with developers to acquire land and right-of-way dedications to meet the Trail System Master Plan • Acquire 33 acres of neighborhood park land in neighborhood zones 5,6,9, and 10 • Work with developers and the citizens to assure that every neighborhood has access to neighborhood park facilities • Acquire land to develop Joint-use School/ Parks at existing and future schools with CISD, KISD and NWISD to address community and neighborhood park needs. Linear Parks The Trail System Master Plan implementation is of the highest priority to the citizens of Southlake. Grant opportunities must be pursued to help develop the trail plan. The City must work with developers to acquire land and to develop the trails. The Thoroughfare Plan is now being updated and needs to include right-a-way to meet the Trail System Master Plan. All opportunities need to be aggressively pursued. The city needs to allocate funds annually for construction of the Trail System Master Plan. Initial construction should begin within a mile of the elementary, intermediate and middle schools. Open Space Open space is defined in two ways. First, open space is land that could have been developed with houses or commercial buildings but was not and was set aside as open space, such as golf courses, ballfields,ponds, greenbelts,etc. The second definition is specific to a standard for Southlake Open Space. Open space is a high priority for the citizens and as Southlake develops more it is becoming a higher priority. This plan states that Southlake will commit 50% of all its public park land inventory to remain"non-impacted open space." Public park land inventory includes city-owned land, land leased from public enmities like the Corps of Engineers,joint-use public school property, and private property meeting a public need(ie.neighborhood parks in subdivisions). "Non-impacted 31 Southlake Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan Special Purpose Parks A special purpose park is usually limited to one or two uses. It is sized, located and developed to best serve its function. Some examples of special purpose parks are athletic complexes, tennis center, aquatic center, botanical garden, golf course, historical site, arts center, nature preserve, fitness center, etc. When possible, these parks are located on major thoroughfares because they attract more than just the local citizenry. Southlake has no special purpose parks. Southlake needs to acquire land for a tennis center and aquatic/fitness center immediately on a site near Carroll High School or in the southern portion of the city. Linear Parks The linear park has great value in a city park system. Such parks introduce corridors of green into the fabric of urban development to relieve stress and provide open space. They establish links between neighborhoods, schools,parks and other community facilities. The City adopted the Trail System Master Plan in August 1995 that outlines these linear "greenwalks" and bike routes throughout the City. Timarron has begun the first stage on this plan with a hike and bike trail along Continental Blvd from White Chapel Blvd to Byron Nelson Parkway. Trails remain the number one priority for facilities needed and wanted by the citizens of Southlake. This long range plan will be built over the next 20 years as land is dedicated by developers, roads are expanded to ultimate sections and funding is available. 28 Southlake Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan Facility Needs Summary Facilities 1996 Users Build-out Number Number Standards by Recommended with Users Existing- needed for Build-out Southlake Facilities pop. 14,950 Projected 1996 2001 pop.45,515 by Build-out Playgrounds 6 12 16-24 24 Picnic Tables 20 80 195 195 Shelters 2 5 10 10 Competitive 900 2740 9 11 12-20 22 ' Baseball/Softball Fields Competitive 1200 3650 6 12 12-24 24 Soccer/Football Fields Tennis Courts 750 2250 2 8 20-33 20 Multi-use courts 1 5 16-24 10 Tennis Center .5(12) 1 I (24) Aquatic/Fitness 1 1 Center Recreation Center *2 .5 1 1 Senior Center 300 910 .5 1 1 Golf Course 1 1 Equine/livestock .5 1 1 Arena Fishing Pier 1 1 1 Nature Center .5 1 1 Performing Ails 1 1 Center Swimming Beach 1 1 Trails Miles: 5 10 Nature(unpaved) Hike&Bike 45 91 (concrete 6'to 12') Equestrian *two Joint-use gyms now available 1 37 I .... rilli •4 ofCuLy ......_ .. .. • ..... ........
